In South Louisiana, the ground under your home is wet, warm, and full of humidity. Without proper sealing, that moisture is slowly getting into your floor, your walls, and your air. Spray foam closes that pathway completely.
South Louisiana has some of the highest groundwater and humidity levels in the country. If your home has a crawlspace or is elevated on piers, that space under the floor is constantly exposed to ground moisture, warm humid air, and flooding risk.
Over time this causes wood rot, mold growth, pest infestations, hot or cold floors depending on the season, and poor indoor air quality in the living space above. Insulation in the floor joists alone doesn't fix it — the moisture still gets through.
Closed cell spray foam applied to the underside of your subfloor and to the interior walls of the crawlspace creates a complete moisture barrier. It's the right way to do this in our climate.
Louisiana soil is saturated year-round. Without a barrier, that moisture vapor rises directly into your floor system and living space.
Warm, humid crawlspaces are ideal conditions for mold growth and wood rot. Spray foam removes the moisture that feeds both.
Homes on piers or near water have even more exposure. Closed cell foam is specifically right for these structures.
Sealing the subfloor reduces heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer — your floors stay more comfortable and your utility bills drop.
